10 WWE Stars Who Could Replace Shane McMahon As SmackDown Commissioner

7. Nikki Bella

Attend any WWE TV taping and you'll see a number of young girls clad in Nikki Bella's 'Fearless' merchandise. You'll even see some in those revealing crop tops, which is another questionable issue altogether, but does prove just how over Nikki is with young women. Girls love the message of self-confidence Bella puts out there.

Right now, she's not doing anything other than starring in Total Bellas and pursuing some other projects outside WWE (like the new season of Dancing With The Stars). Taking up one night a week on her busy calendar to become SmackDown's new Commissioner shouldn't be a problem, though. Just think of the natural interaction between Nikki and Daniel Bryan too.

Both are family due to Bryan's marriage to Nikki's sister Brie, and it'd be nice to see a different side of Bella away from the booty shorts and John Cena influence. As her own woman, she could actually flourish on the show and vindicate why young women believe her to be inspiring.

It's a fresh gig for Nikki, if nothing else.
